Are you a living stone in God's temple? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church in Sint Maarten opens the Word to show us that the Church is not a building made of brick and mortar — it is a living, growing temple made up of every born-again believer.

Drawing from Ephesians 2:21, 1 Peter 2:4-6, Matthew 16:18, and 1 Corinthians 3:11 in the KJV, Pastor Webster walks us through the beautiful truth that Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone holding everything together.

You might be asking... What does it mean to be a "living stone"? Why does unity matter so much in the Church? How is Christ building His Church today? What is the purpose of apostles, prophets, pastors, and teachers?

Key points from this devotion:

- We are all sinners by nature, but redemption comes through the blood of Jesus Christ alone

- The Church is one body, Jews and Gentiles unified under one Spirit and one hope

- Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone — no other foundation can be laid

- Every believer is a living stone set in a holy, spiritual temple

- God gave gifts to the Church to mature, build up, and protect the saints from false teaching
